Here’s our story

Vocal impact was born when an executive was struggling to keep his personal relationships healthy. Working hard every day to rebuild a tech company, he could barely speak at the end of each day. Our founder is not a psychologist, but she knew that if you can’t talk to your family or friends, those relationships will be in trouble. The work to heal his voice saved his marriage, and the work on presence made an impression on Wall Street. Since then we’ve been guiding clients to learn vocal health; we’ve created clarity out of noise and expression out of flat, meaningless delivery through development of articulation and inflection skills with our approach to vocal impact, an approach that not only helps individual expression but allows people to connect better with others. Our approach to communicating with impact and influence is science-based and performance-proven, systematically building skills and discipline in the communicator.

Intention

Intention is an aim that guides action. More than purpose alone, more than a goal, it’s the deepest “why” that gets you where you want to go, and it drives clear, influential communication. We take multidisciplinary research on intention, persuasion and leadership presence and apply it to impactful communication.

Story

We have a blog, books, and a database of research that inform us in our work and provide resources to our clients. This is our Story. What is yours? Most executives know what they have to say, but is it persuasive? Does it connect and engage? Does it speak in the authentic voice of the executive? We align our Story with our Intention, and we guide our clients to do the same with theirs.

Presence

We’ve put ourselves out there in front of thousands. We’ve learned and taken chances– with success. We are spokespersons, performers, and public speakers, and we’ve trained hundreds of people who need to pitch, present, perform and persuade with influence. We know from first-hand experience that it’s not what you say it’s how you say it.

A message from our Founder and Managing Partner.

As you read above, Vocal impact was born when an executive was struggling to keep his personal relationships healthy. Working hard every day to rebuild a tech company, he could barely speak at the end of each day. The work to heal his voice saved his marriage, and the work on presence had a positive impact on his leadership team, employees and Wall Street analysts.

I started coaching in earnest when the digital world started exploding. Early on, a client exclaimed, “When I started my career, I didn’t know I would have to be a TV star, too!” My work with senior business people led to creating an approach to intercommunication that builds executive presence as well as physical skills. Today, we coach to ensure our clients will show up as needed on video, on conference calls when no one can see them, and also in the “old-school” way– in person, every day. Read more…

I want to live in a world that is accepting and tolerant. This calls for developing
more effective ways to communicate with each other. The better we are able
to communicate, the better we will understand each other, and the more we
will be able to contribute to the world.

Ursula Kleinecke, Vocal Impact Executive Coach

Everyone has moments when they are more alive, effective and filled with life
than others. A focus on the intention that creates that vital energy makes us
more engaged and engaging. I love to get people pumped up on that vitality,
moving us all to more glorious lives. That’s why I do what I do.

Richard Kinsey, Vocal Impact Executive Coach

Find your voice. If you don’t use it, you lose it, and the world will be poorer for
its absence.

Kate Peters, Vocal Impact Founder and Managing Partner

I have worked as a stylist for a variety of fashion brands, so I understand that
a person looks their best when we find the right type of look and they feel
comfortable with what they wearing.

Franklin Avendano, Vocal Impact Sylist and Fashion Consultant

The journey to your authentic voice is the ultimate path to true communication.
I believe we all have a unique purpose and calling. My joy is in leading others

Be the exception as well as the example. Listen, learn, and speak your truth!
